JOSEPH SCHERMULY, OF WICHITA, KANSAS;

OIL BURNER.

Application filed June 19', 1923. Serial m. 646,343.

To all whom it may concern.

Beit known that I, JOSEPH SCHERMULY, a citizen of the United States, resident of "Wichita, county of Sedgwick, and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

consisting of two sheets, which form a part of this application.

My invention relates to a hydrocarbon oil burner.

The object of my invention is to provide a I burner equally distributing the oil uniformly atthe periphery of a disk dispensing memher.

A further object of my invention is to provide means for heating and circulating the air, which comes in contactwith the oil as it is dispensed at the combustion point.

A still further object of my invention is to provide simple means for disposing of the overflow of superfluous oil.

Referring to the drawings Fig. 1 is a top view of the burner with parts removed showing the difl'erent members. Fig. 2 is a side view partly in section for convenience of illustration. Fig; 3 is an inverted view of the air chamber, showing the circulating D, and said oil being conveyed from said depression through a pipe 5.

The said members 1 and 2 arefastened together by means of corresponding ears 6, a plurality of which are stationed around the periphery of members 1 and 2, said ears having holes re 'stering and thro which passes bolts bingi ng said members tightly to ether.

is a convex member having grooves 8, radiating as shown in Figure 1. The said convex member has a plurality of standards 8 integral with said disk and adapted to rest on lip D and the lower end of said standards being shaped to conform'to the shape oflip D by which means the said 'said disc being supported by'standards 8 resting on lip D, is held firmly thereto by means of a union 12 being threaded on pipe 10 and contacting on base member 1 at 13, and the said union functions as a connection for pipe 10, and pipe 14 which connects with a fuel oil tank, not shown.

15 is ahood concave to conform to the convex surface of disc 7 by which means the oil is confined to travel thro the grooves 8 mak ing an equal distribution of the oil about the periphery of said disc as heretofore described and the said hood 15 being larger in diameter, functions as protection for the escaping oil, causing the said oil and hot air to contact within the heating chamber, formed by the said discs and the gases formed will pass thro the opening 16 said opening being between the periphery of disc 15 and the curvature of wall C at which point combustion takes place.

In base member 1 is an opening 17 functioning as an air inlet, said opening being positioned between the walls A and B as shown by dotted lines E in Fig. 3.

When the burner is in action thecurved wall C is heated and the heat being transmitted into air chamber 3 creates a circulation of the hot air flowing in the direction indicated by the arrows as shown in. Fig. 3 and discharging thro the opening 9 under discs 7 and hood '15 preheating the oil that is flowin between said disc as heretofore describe on the rim of said generating pan, a hood 10 mounted on the convex member sothat the oil will be distributed uniformly through the radiating grooves, and also to function as a heating element to generate the oil into gas. all for the purpose set forth and de- 15' scribed.
